Gaia's Requiem

'Gaia's Requiem' is the first in a series of collaborations between Blue Hour and A-JX. It sees label owner Luke Standing deliver a new take on his '90s techno-inspired sound. The trademark hyper-speed rhythms are replaced with greatly reduced tempos, but the same dreamy, musical textures are present. Both ‘Lost Illusions’ and ‘Aura 96 (Kino Mix)’ rumble along to mid-tempo drums, but the stand-out track is ‘Gaia’s Requiem’ itself, a string-filled, expansive ambient composition.
